Netizens enjoyed this skit from Bubble Gang
Longest-running gag show Bubble Gang featured in a recent episode its holiday song titled 12 Days of Kurakot.
This song came from the popular Christmas song 12 Days of Christmas that is often sung by choirs in carolling, which is common in the Philippines. Filipinos of all ages know this song, but the Kapuso gag show had its own version.
